FAQs for Out of Band Authentication

You will receive your security code via a phone call or text message to the phone number of yours that the bank has on file.

2) Why can’t the security code just be emailed? Why does it have to be sent to a phone?
If your computer has viruses or malware, your security code could be compromised; delivering the security code to your phone is a safer, more secure method.

3) Does the bank have my current phone number?
You must review and/or update your phone number by logging into online banking. You will need to do the following:

1. Login to your Business Solutions Online Banking
2. Click on “Administration"
3. Click on “Manage Contact Preferences” and review and update your information
4. If the information is incorrect, click “Change” and update your information
5. If the information is correct, do nothing

4) What happens if I miss the phone call from Business Solutions?
You will be allowed to try again. There are no restrictions.

5) Will I get locked out by typing the security code in incorrectly or abandoning the webpage once a security code is issued?
No, you will not get locked out. You will just need to get a new security code and try again.

6) Will I have to type in the security code every time I log in?
No. Once you type in the security code, your computer’s information (IP address, device used, browser used, and software used) is collected by Business Solutions. So, the next time you log in from that device, Business Solutions will recognize it and will not ask you for a security code.

7) Will I still receive a security question once I click on “Forgotten Password” to reset my password?
No. You will not have to answer a question(s). When you click on “Forgotten Password” you will have to get a new security code through the Out of Band Authentication Business Solutions process. From there, you will be able to reset your password.

8) How are foreign phone numbers handled for OBA?
In Business Solutions online banking, the foreign phone numbers are recognized.

9) If I am traveling abroad and have brought mylaptop with me, is it likely I will need a security code? Will my cell phone receive the text or call message?
It is likely you will need a security code. If your cell phone is enabled for international service, you will receive a text or call.
